Rayman 2 Remake | Trailer

Post by Lokendens »

Hello everybody !
For the past 10 months I was working on a project to remake the Rayman 2 intro animation. I did everything from scratch in a 3D software called Blender. I used the render engine Octane render to render the scenes out and then made the post production in After Effects. I really hope you will like it I am so happy to finally be able to show this to everybody ! Here is the link to the YouTube video, watch in 4K and with headphones for best experience:

This is really stunning, I can only imagine how much work went into this! No wonder it took you ten months in total, not only does it look really, really good, I also like the artistic touch here, and the scene with the Lums scattering all over the Glade is a great addition. Again, great work here! :bigup:

It is absolutely amazing, one of the best fanworks I have seen, thanks for sharing! Maybe you could start a Patreon and remake other cutscenes from Rayman or other retro games.

Thank you very much! I did think about patreon, but I do already have a fulltime job, so all of these would have to be made after work. Since this one took me 10 months to make I think the other ones also will take more that half a year and making updates so rare would not be fair to the patrons in my pinion. I will think about it though !

Thank you very much! A lot of work went into this yes, it was an amazing project to recreate my favorite game. I am so happy that I finally finished it and can show it to Rayman fans all around the world!

This looks incredible! Awesome work, I love it. Now I want to see more, but I understand it's not very likely given the time it took you. Still, a great tribute. 👍

That was one of the most amazing Rayman-related fanworks I have ever seen! Wonderful job!

I strongly encourage people to watch this video of terapop with Lokendens/TheMrLeoniasty, it includes a bts of how this amazing intro was made:

Already watched it, great interview!
I did not know how popular is Rayman in Poland, now I understand why most of my Rayman fan friends are Polish! :D

No problem ! I will be making a more detailed/organised breakdown of how I made the whole thing soon. It will be uploaded to my channel, so stay tuned !

Very cool, nice work on the music syncing! :D

Since you ask at the end of the video, I think my favourite scene is the one with the Lums flying in. Not sure why, but it is! :hap:

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. It is difficult to pick one favorite scene, but I guess I'll also pick the part when you see the Heart of World actually explode and the yellow lums being scattered.
